Saitek X-36 Joystick

[AMB]

What do people think of this, is it good for fligh sims, I think that'll be the only use it gets, I was think of the Microsoft Sidewinder FF, but I like the look of this

also, I am getting a steering wheel too, the Ferrari one, I guess that is good too?

edit: as everyone else is making polls, so should I I made one for Saitek vs MS, I do not mean the companies, but really rhe X-36 vs Sidewinder FF

The best stick for flight sims that I've found, by far, is the Wingman Extreme Digital 3D

I was thinking of getting the X-36 system about a year ago, but I heard bad things about it drifting, and the mouse and rudder are really poor. It isn't digital, and I don't think it uses USB which is a major minus as far as I'm concerned. I ended up getting a Sidewinder Precision Pro, and I love it. From what I've heard the X-36 can be flaky, unless they updated it to USB and eliminated the analog pots, which would be a really cool system then.

They have actually made it USB now, and digital, that was one reason why i didn't get it earlier

I've wondered about the Saitek myself. I've been thinking of the x36/38 joystick/throttle combo.
